israel said it was an accident. in southern israel, 3-year-old karen plays with her tricycle until sirens sound. her family rushes down to their bomb shelter. eight members of the malka family huddling together during the explosions. when the sirens sound, you have just 30 seconds to get to the shelter. so families don't leave home. schools and businesses are closed. but back here between the boxes, children were able to get outside and smile while others hoped for quieter times. >> we need peace. we need peace. if they stop, if israel stop, i am sure they will stop. >> reporter: of course, it's not that simple. both sides say they want peace but blame the other for preventing it. while many hope for a peace deal, the missiles keep flying. alex marquardt, abc news, gaza strip. >> thanks a lot, alex. >>> developing news overnight, we just learned that secretary of state hillary clinton is now heading to the middle east tonight. >> not a preplanned visit. all because of this unrest. our coverage continues with lama ha
